It doesn't count as "malicious compliance" if Apple is not complying. Apple is simply not allowed to have one fee structure for people who use the App Store to release stuff and another for other people. See "no self-preferencing". "Not providing an App Store" is not a service. All these tantrums are going to earn them is a swift kick in the nuts from the EU.
We can only hope (っ˘ڡ˘ς)
I wish it was swift.
Apple isn't even required to comply with these new laws yet - so wishing the EU to enforce the rules now is pretty unrealisitc.
